RFID PRODUCT OVERVIEW RFID – MORE THAN IDENTIFICATION

Automation Is Our World. A Perfect Application Solution Is Our Goal.A willingness to take entrepreneurial risks, a pioneering spirit, and a firm belief in their own inventive powers – these were the assets that Walter Pepperl and Ludwig Fuchs started out with when they opened their Mannheim radio repair shop in 1945. Their invention of the proximity switch a few years later proved their strength. It was also the starting point in a successful history defined by close customer relationships as well as innovative automation technologies andprocedures.

Then as now, our focus is directed squarely on the individual requirements of each customer. Whether as a pioneer in electrical explosion protection or as a leading innovator of highly efficient sensors, close communication with our customers is what allowed us to become the leader in automation technology. Our main objective is combining state-of-the-art technologies and comprehen-sive services to optimize our customers’ processes and applications.

RFID Technology

RFID – Setting New StandardsTechnology precisely tailored to your specific application is what gives you that all-important competitive edge. Completely reliable and transparent processes regardless of ambient conditions move you toward this goal. Decades of experience and expertise in this area provide the foundation that allows Pepperl+Fuchs to continuously develop new solutions for customer applications.

Generally, an RFID system consists of a control interface with connection to a fieldbus, read/write heads, and tags.

Read/write headStationary read/write heads read data from the tags, and, if necessary, write modified data back to the tag.

Electromagnetic fieldDuring the reading operation, the antenna inside the read/write head builds up an electromagnetic field.

TagThe electromagnetic field emitted by the read/write head supplies energy to the tag and the data exchange takes place.

More Efficiency with RFID

Transparent processes, optimized production, cost reduction, and quality assurance are just some of the benefits of RFID. The integration of RFID in production and logistics processes ensures maximum efficiency for each application.RFID stands for “radio frequency identification,” a wireless, noncontact technology that transfers information from a tag

to a read/write head and all the way through to the PLC. The tags serve as data storage units.

They provide information about products, goods, or even people and ensure a link between data and material flow. This enables more transparent and rapid processes.

Three Systems –Versatile Solutions

LF System for Short Read Range

LF systems (125 kHz) are well suited for use in production lines, parts assembly, and on conveyors. Specially designed tags can be flush-mounted in metal and are exceptionally robust.

RFID tags embedded in fixtures allow the processing of different products and product variants on one assembly line. Infor-mation for each fixture is stored in the tag and can easily be tracked.

HF System for Large Data Capacity and High Speed

HF systems* (13.56 MHz) are used especially when transferring large amounts of data on the fly or with applications requiring a large number of low-cost tags. The reliable identification of pallets or trays in conveyor systems is often used in automated logistics applications.

UHF System for Long Read Range

UHF systems (865–928 MHz) are ideal for applications that cover a wide area. Tags can be read very quickly over several meters.

Tags are mounted on the car body, skids, or hangers. By exchanging data with the read/write heads, the tags make it possible to manage production variations and ensure the delivery of the proper materials to the correct locations.

* Available in ISO 15693 and 14443.

To provide you with the best solution, Pepperl+Fuchs offers three different RFID systems in the LF, HF, and UHF frequency ranges, so you can select the most suitable frequency for every application – from LF readers for short detection ranges to UHF readers for long distances.

Tags for Any Application – Robust and Flexible

To ensure that data is always available, robust and flexible tags that function reliably in all circumstances are required. Pepperl+Fuchs offers tags that are suitable for all applications in the LF, HF, and UHF frequency ranges.

Example: read curve of the IPH-L2-V1 read/write head with the IPC03-20P tag

Flexible Use

Tags accompany goods along supply chains. They carry data for reliable object identification and ensure safe processes. In- dustrial tags are designed for tough and abusive environments: very high or low temperatures, excessive wear and tear, and mounting in or on metal.

If tags are mounted on or near metal, the maximum attainable ranges decrease, depending on the metal:

Information about the read curves from different combinations of tags and read heads can be found on the data sheet of the respective tag on www.pepperl-fuchs.com.

RFID Monitors Hose Connections

In chemical, pharmaceutical, and aseptic plants, process components and liquids are transported from their storage tanks to a process reactor.

In order to reliably protect such processes, the hose couplings are equipped with RFID technology. A hose connection with an incorrect process medium for the current process can be securely identi-fied. RFID verifies the proper supply and ensures a safe process.

2.45 GHz Read/Write Station (MT-System)

A typical application area for this system is access control or the identification of very fast-moving objects. IDENT system MT consists of a read/write device and a read-only or read/write tag. Data on the read/write tags can be changed by the user, while the read-only code is guaranteed to be unique.

The read/write device performs data transfers with the read-only and read/write tags and can be connected directly to a higher-level control system, such as a PC or PLC, via Ethernet or serial interface.

Highlights

▪ Increased efficiency – the system allows a read range up to 6 m

▪ Universal use – stand-alone mode for automatic opening of access controls

▪ Multitag capability – simultaneous reading of several tags
